McLaren Automotive has started a new marketing campaign for their Sports Series and we're loving where this is going. The first launch film teases their upcoming automobile—given the codename P13—by focusing on a lone black feather floating through the air while a voice over tells the story of the black swan (you know, how everyone assumed all swans were white until a black one was found in Australia in 1697). You get a very brief glimpse of the car's tire at the video's five second mark, but that's it—though below is a photo of the car camouflaged.

When you think of going to camp, you probably think of bunk beds, cabins, and questionable food, but the bi-annual Richard Petty Fantasy Racing Camp (RPDE) is not that kind of camp. RPDE has 12 slots open for some lucky luxury car enthusiasts, giving them the chance to join for the event in Las Vegas on March 8-11, 2015.

The 2015 Porsche Cayenne S has been getting a lot of press lately and judging by the early drive reactions, it deserves it. From the outside, it doesn't look all that different from other SUVs, but Porsche has packed enough inside to get it to stand apart. Starting at $74k (and rising up to at least $114k), the tiptronic S E-Hybrid boasts 420hp at 6,000rpm, with a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 that hits a 0-60 advancement in 5.2 seconds (5.1 when in Sport Chrono) and a top track speed of 161mph.

Is it still cool to reference Portlandia's "put a bird on it" sketch? Artist Dave White must think so, since he literally put birds all over this Albion E-Type Art Car. Okay, that may not be entirely fair, because the luxury auto actually looks pretty cool. Commissioned by a private collector, the Jag has been on view at Loughran Gallery's Albion Exhibition in London as part of a bigger exhibition of White's work.

If you're thinking about getting away for the weekend, hop in the car and head over to the Hilton Island Motoring Festival—which officially started today and continues on until November 2. The event kicks off with the exclusive Savannah Speed Classic, offering classic racing, hot lap rides, test drives (Porsche, Lexus, Jaguar, and BMW will all be there with some of their newest luxury autos), off-road experiences, and pit access.

Just because you have a luxury sports car doesn't mean that you know how to drive it, and there's a good chance you've terrified one (or several) of your friends with your high-speed cornering and sudden braking.

Leaving your office during rush hour in Los Angeles to make dinner at French Laundry in Napa Valley might seem impossible, but it won't be if AeroMobil has a say. The sleek, stylish flying car can take you out of the parking lot, and into the air—all you need is a runway and a destination.

Not to be outdone by the slew of Apple announcements this month, BlackBerry teamed up with Porsche Design to create the new, sleek and stylish P’9983. Like the exclusivity involved with owning a luxury car, the Porsche Design BlackBerry comes with several special features to set owners apart from other BlackBerry users.

In news that might excite some folks just as much as the iPhone 6 or Apple Watch, the Ferrari FF (short for Ferrari Four, its powerhouse four-seater) will be the first luxury car to feature Apple’s CarPlay. The system was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March and was designed to make smartphones safe to use while driving. Users can search, message and call using intuitive hands-free technology, and will also have access to iTunes, Apple maps, and a very select few of third-party apps that meet Apple’s safety requirements.

In case you missed it, the Hennessey Venom F5 is on its way and judging by the auto brand's anticipated top speed exceeding 290mph, it'll be here before you know it. As the Venom GT's successor, the F5 was named after the highest tornado rank on the Fujita scale (an F5 means winds up to 318mph) and features a "bold, lower-drag shape, additional power and enhanced technology."

Polaris may already be known for their snowmobiles and off-road cars, but now they've added their very first three-wheeler to their repertoire. Earlier in the week they unveiled their new Polaris Slingshot, a motorcycle with three wheels and a lot of power.

Last week Chevrolet announced that their 2015 Corvette Z06 is getting a suggested retail price tag of $78,995, while the convertible version will retail for $83,995—pretty fair considering Chevrolet is hailing the Z06 as the "most powerful and technologically advanced model in the iconic car’s 62-year history."

Gooding & Company saw some pretty big profits last weekend at their two-day Pebble Beach luxury auto auction where they realized over $106 million. The official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance apparently sold 107 of their 121 lots, with the average price per car being $990,699 (they even sold 30 cars for over one million), and an overall 88 percent sale rate. To make the auction even more impressive, 16 new records were set for Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Porsche.

Airstream announced today that they are adding another model to their touring couch lineup, the new Interstate Grand Tour. Promising tons of space to please any discerning luxury traveler, the luxury auto has plenty of counter space, storage, a workspace and optional screen doors. Plus, this one isn't overwhelming in size, which makes it great for a first-time buyer or for someone looking for a cozier coach.
